Three Rock.
Bad race. Wasn't running very fast until the last part and the map was horrendous. Biggest mistakes at 5 and 6 where veg was way out of date. Open was marked as green so got really confused and wasted about 7mins there. Had some bad routechoices as well so say I lost about 10-12mins in total. Not surprised with the map being so bad.

27c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

JEC relay course. Ran well for the first part. Big miss at 4 but recovered well. Lost a lot of time along with Eoin and Anton at 8 with no flag. Big mess at 10 came down wrong side of vegetation and had to come back up. Lost lead here. About 1:30 down on Colm at 14. Small miss at 18 didn't see control and it was a bit off. Big miss at 23 din't see small hill so faffed around. Jack nearly caught me up here and I lost contact with Conor. Biggest miss at 26. Lots of storm damage had messed the map up so didn't get on right path, climbed to top of the hill and had to try and work my way down. Held onto 4th though, too far down on Anton for my liking.

Orienteering intervals 55:00 [4] **** 8.0 km (6:53 / km) +260m 5:55 / km
20c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

O-intervals on Drummond Hill. Really nice fast training. Terrain was ok but quite bad in places and heather was very tough making for hard going. Wanted work on Navigation so didn't push relay pace just kept steady. Jogged in on last interval because fell in a big marsh.
2 PM

Hung control 6 then ran to finish taking in all controls along the way including 1 and 2. Nice terrain and orienteering really well.

Orienteering 1:10:00 [3] *** 8.0 km (8:45 / km) +250m 7:34 / km
20c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

First training. Nice map but bad terrain. Did bad to start the brashings and trees pushing me off my bearings. Gave up on the exercise after 14 where the terrain just got really bad.
2 PM

Orienteering 35:00 [3] **** 5.0 km (7:00 / km) +100m 6:22 / km
10c shoes: Inov-8 X-Talon 212

Ran the first 8 legs of the elite class middle at Dunalastair. Alternate legs with James because I couldn't find my map. He was running well but technique and flow needs more work. Enjoyed this training the most.

JK relay. Victory!
Laurence came in good 4th but first middle course so I ran out hard. Tough climbs on the course. Map was wrong at 2 was too steep on the map and flattish on the ground. Messed up 4 as well didn't go far enough scale was strange. Struggled in the heather and made a large mistake at 7 by not going high enough. Pushed hard for the rest but struggled physically. Need work.
Any way handed over to Aoife and she cruised in with an 8minute lead for the win. Good way to end weekend but disappointed with how I ran overall.

Trail/Terrain warm up/down 20:00 [1] 3.0 km (6:40 / km)

Long cool down.
